Melville, NY --(Ammoland.com)- The new P-223 series of riflescopes broadens Nikon’s line of precision optics for AR rifles.

Designed for extreme sighting speed and superior long-range accuracy for AR platform rifles and .223 cartridges, the P-223 is offered in 3-9×40 long range and 3×32 Carbine models.

The P-223’s entire optical system is fully multicoated for extreme brightness and light transmission.

The P-223 3-9×40 features the patented Nikon BDC 600 reticle and tactical-style turrets with Zero-Reset feature to simplify field adjustments. Developed specifically for the trajectory of the .223 Rem /5.56 NATO round with 55-grain polymer tip bullet, at 3240 FPS the BDC 600 reticle offers shooters unique open circle aiming points and hash marks from 100 to 600 yards.  MSRP for the P-223 3-9×40 is $199.95.

The P-223 3×32 Carbine is an incredibly compact optic designed specifically for fast-handling, shorter barrel ARs.  The all-new, fast-sighting BDC Carbine reticle was developed specifically for the 3×32 and .223 Remington cartridge to make engaging targets out to 600 yards a snap.  MSRP for the P-223 3×32 Carbine is $149.95.

Like all Nikon riflescopes, the P-223 is optimized for use with Nikon Spot On^TM Ballistic Match Technology.  The Spot On program provides users with exact aiming points on the BDC reticle for any load or ammunition at a specified range.  Spot On can be purchased for iPhone and Android or tried out for free at nikonhunting.com/spoton.

Also available is an all-new P-Series Mount. Developed to fit Picatinny rails found on most flattop AR rifles, this two-piece design allows proper height and positioning of either P-223 scope.  The lightweight-but-strong alloy construction will hold up under the most brutal conditions.

The Nikon P-223 riflescopes include the following features:

• Fully Multicoated Optical System
• Provides up to 98% light transmission and maximum brightness from dawn to dusk.
• 100-yard Parallax Setting

Vortex Focal Plane Viper HS LR Riflescope

Vortex Optics

Middleton, Wis. --(Ammoland.com)- Always the innovator, Vortex Optics added first focal plane models to its popular Viper HS Riflescope series.

To the users eye, first focal plane reticles expand and decrease in size in a direct, proportional relationship to magnification. This is due to the reticle’s forward placement in the optical system. The benefit of that placement is all reticle sustentions remain constant and useable throughout the entire zoom range.

Translation – Your BDC and subtension reticle references are accurate at all magnifications. That’s right, no more having to double-check your scopes setting when that trophy of a lifetime steps out at distance, everything seems to be happening at once and you want to use your reticle’s drop references – or worse, using drop references on the incorrect magnification setting resulting in a poor hit or miss. It’s basically a failsafe measure.

“Many of our riflescopes built for tactical applications and long-range shooting where time is a critical variable employ first focal plane reticles and the advantages they offer,” said Joe Hamilton, Vortex Optics national sales manager.

“It just made sense to further incorporate them into our hunting riflescopes as an option for hunters who want to maximize their effective range during the types of high-pressure situations they can encounter in the field.”

The new first focal plane Vortex Viper HS models add a new twist to hunting-oriented riflescopes and are sure to turn heads. Reticle images and information are available on the vortexoptics.com Web site.

Available: 4-16×50 LR (XLR Reticle), 6-24×50 LR (XLR Reticle)

American-owned, Wisconsin-based Vortex Optics designs, engineers and distributes a complete line of premium binoculars, riflescopes, spotting scopes, tripods and related accessories. Dedicated to exceptional quality, value and unrivaled customer service, Vortex backs its products with its unconditional, lifetime VIP-warranty. Built on more than 20 years of experience in the optics industry, Vortex is rapidly emerging as a leading brand in the optics market.

Burris Fullfield E1 Riflescope

Burris Optics

GREELEY, Colo. --(Ammoland.com)- Burris has announced the introduction of its new Fullfield E1 Riflescope line.

Retaining popular features of the Fullfield II riflescopes, the new E1 line offers a sleek profile with upgraded ergonomic windage/elevation knobs, a matching power ring and an eyepiece that accepts flip-up lens caps.

Precision and accuracy of the new Fullfield E1 scope line has been enhanced with the addition of the Burris Ballistic Plex E1 reticle.

Until now, this proprietary wind-compensating reticle has only been available on the Burris premium SixX scope line. Now featured in the Fullfield E1 Series, the Ballistic Plex E1 etched reticle provides a simple, uncluttered method for determining both trajectory and wind compensation.

Burris Ballistic Plex E1 Reticle

The reticle is a series of cascading .25 MOA dots to the left and right of the reticle that help compensate for crosswinds. The dots represent bullet drift from a 10 mph crosswind (+/- 1.5 inches at 400 yards) for most hunting cartridges. For a 5 mph crosswind, halve the distance between dot and reticle. Likewise, for 20 mph crosswind, simply double the distance.

Internally, the new Fullfield E1 scopes feature precision ground lenses that are larger than the lenses comparable scopes for better light transmission. The lenses are index-matched with Burris HiLume Storm multi-coatings. The Fullfield E1 Series also feature double erector springs and positive steel-on-steel adjustments for repeatable accuracy.

Available at retailers nationwide, the new Burris Fullfield E1 riflescopes will retail for: 2-7x35mm $179; 3-9x40mm $199; 3-9x50mm $299; 4.5-14x42mm $349.

Bushnell Elite Series Riflescopes

Bushnell Outdoor Products

Overland Park, KS. --(Ammoland.com)- Bushnell Outdoor Products, an industry-leader in high performance sports optics for more than 60 years, has introduced its 2011 line of Elite series riflescopes. The product line features 18 models enhanced with a host of new features for optimal performance and lasting reliability.

Featuring fully multi-coated optics, the Elite riflescopes deliver 95 percent light transmission across 300 percent more of the visual light spectrum than before. To enhance low-light performance, Bushnell has introduced Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Coating, an anti-reflective coating that allows the best possible light from the front of the glass to the eyepiece, resulting in optimum brightness and true color across the light spectrum.

In addition to providing optical excellence, the Elite riflescope is engineered to withstand the rigors of shooting sports and whatever Mother Nature throws its way. Each scope in the series is 100 percent waterproof, fog proof and shockproof, and the optics are protected with the patented RainGuard HD coating. The permanent, water-resistant finish causes moisture to bead up and scatter less light, allowing this scope to perform even in inclement weather.

Bushnell has introduced argon purging in the Elite line to ensure each scope delivers long-lasting performance. Due to its large atom size, Argon gas is less likely to dissipate from the scope body, doesn’t create chemical reactions that can result in corrosion or degradation of seals, and transfers heat at a slower rate, reducing thermal conduction within the scope.

Hammer forged from tough, high quality T6061 aluminum, the Bushnell Elite series also features a fully integrated saddle for years of service under the toughest conditions. Backed by the Elite Bullet-Proof Warranty – a no questions asked one-year replacement warranty – the Elite series riflescopes offer optical excellence and rock-solid reliability.

Nikon TurkeyPro BTR 'Strut into Savings' Mail-In Rebate

Nikon Hunting

Melville, NY --(Ammoland.com)- Spring is just around the corner and Nikon is helping savvy turkey hunters Strut Into Savings with a great addition to their favorite turkey shotgun.

From now until May 31st hunters can enjoy up to an $80 mail-in rebate on Mr. Tom’s worst nightmare the Nikon TurkeyPro BTR (Ballistic Turkey Reticle).

“Designed and built with help from the nation’s top turkey hunters, the TurkeyPro BTR will help hunters target gobblers faster and be more confident when pulling the trigger,” said Jon Allen, General Manager of Nikon Sport Optics. “Combining it with a huge cash rebate means this scope is affordable for every turkey chaser in the woods.”

Available in Realtree APG, Mossy Oak Break-Up and a Matte finish, the TurkeyPro BTR is a 1.65-5x36mm multi-coated scope with five full inches of eye relief. The BTR reticle is designed to work as a ranging tool as well as an aiming device. The BTR’s circle within a circle construction allows shooters to use convergence to know when a turkey steps into range. Hunters simply place the small circle, on low power, or the large circle, on high power, to cover or subtend the turkey from head to wattles at 40 yards. The center circle acts as the aiming point and allows the shooter to still “see” the exact target spot even on low power.

The innovations with this turkey scope don’t stop with the reticle system. The TurkeyPro also features a removable Anti-Reflective Device (ARD), a first for turkey hunters.

Konus Spotting Scope 7120

Konus Optics

Miami, Fl -(Ammoland.com)- The hunting community is abuzz with talk about Konus and everyone agrees that Konus offers high-quality, reliable optics at an affordable price. That is the basic principle behind Konus, which has been praised by hunters, critics and press nationwide as being the best value for your dollar.

“Konus means quality and dependability to me,” says O’Neill Williams, top outdoorsman and host of TV’s O’Neill Outside. “As an avid outdoorsman, I hunt and fish all over the world, and I know that there is no substitute for quality optics in the field.”

Chad Shearer, world champion elk caller and host of Shoot Straight with Chad Shearer agrees and now recommends Konus to his viewers and fellow hunters. “I am very impressed with the quality of the Konus optics. They are clear, bright and durable. As our viewers know, we demand a lot out of our optics, and Konus makes great products at reasonable prices.”

Konus is also the exclusive brand of optics for CVA, the muzzle-loading division of Blackpowder Products, Inc. (BPI). After decades of using other optics, CVA brand muzzleloader guns are now matched and sold with Konus riflescopes. “The Konus line of riflescopes have emerged as one of the most durable and reliable scopes on the market,” said Dudley McGarity, Chief Executive Officer of BPI.

Based on the feedback from all of these pros, Konus is highlighting some of their finest products for this upcoming hunting season. First up are the critically acclaimed Konus M30 riflescopes, which in a single unit combine the most advance features and the professional specifications on the market to date.

The hunting community is also raving about Konus’ selection of spotting scopes, calling them “unbelievable,” “the clearest” and most “affordable” spotters on the market. Put to the test in the range or in the field, Konus’ powerful spotting scopes are ideal in either environment.

In the area of red dots, Konus recommends their “Sight Pro Atomic”, the smallest and lightest traditional red dot sight currently on the market with all of the features and durability of a full-sized unit in an extremely compact footprint. The Sight Pro Atomic is the perfect companion for rifles, shotguns, handguns and a great compliment for carbines, or for mounting on top of traditional riflescopes and/or night vision devices.

The Hunter Series also includes many additional features never before offered before by Aimpoint; enhanced optical performance provided by a 34mm tube, a newly designed front-mounted adjustment system that helps get shooters on target even faster than before, and a silently operated digital push button intensity adjustment touch pad. Just one look tells you that this is the most advanced hunting sight that Aimpoint has ever built, and the sleek, modern design will complement any firearm.

The first sights released in the series are 34mm products. The Hunter H34L is a full length sight ideal for use on center fire rifles with standard or magnum actions. The compact version, the H34S, is designed for use on standard action rifles and hunting shotguns. Both versions are mounted using two 34mm Weaver-style sight rings that are supplied with each sight. Both versions utilize a premium, multi coated anti-reflex lens in their massive 45mm objective, and operate for up to 50,000 hours (over 5 years) of constant operation from a single CR-2032 battery. Accuracy in any light or weather conditions is provided by a parallax-free lens system with a 2 MOA dot. These sights are fully waterproof, and extremely fast on target.

“The new Hunter Series shows that Aimpoint means business when it comes to hunting” said Brian Lisankie, President of Aimpoint Inc. “This is a completely new product, designed with input from serious hunters across the globe.

• repeatedly adjusted to test the ¼ MOA for consistency and accuracy

With 500 products submitted for testing and 27 experienced field testers pushing them to the max, only a surviving few remained to be crowned “Best of the Best.”

Packed with features
Weaver’s 40/44 series are comprised of scopes that possess either 40mm or 44mm objectives and contain features shooters have come to expect in quality glass. Things like fully multi-coated lenses, waterproof/shockproof/fogproof performance and one-piece tube construction. Other elements that make the 40/44 series a Field & Stream “Best of the Best” winner are:

• • broad range of magnification ranges
• • aspherical lens system (on some models)
